I've just finished my application for the Legnum VR-4 (EC5W) and their Galant sedan counterparts to be approved for import under the SEVS regulations. Should have an answer in a month or so. They're coming to get ya'!

I woulnt compare the legnum with anything other than the 260rs, the whole twin turbo thing has to vs nissan twin turbo power.

A legnum is a twin turbo (3000GT engine), 4wd manual wagon thing :wub:

I wouldnt give up the availability of parts for the nissan over the legnum, as the legnum wouldnt have any SK group buys or anything :P

I have driven both the tt Legnum and the 260rs in stock trim. The 260 will own it every time. The Legnum is a nice looking car though, I'd hate to work on one though.

lol - look at them all jump in to defend!

I used to own an EC5A Galant VR-4, as far as I know the only on in Oz. Now resides in Sydney. Mine was manual with Active Yaw Control, which is a very rare combo, even in Japan. I brought mine back with me from Japan.

They're 2.5V6 twin turbo, 206kW. I think you could probably dust an RS-Four in one, but not a chance against a 260RS - with the factory exhaust, the small turbos on the Legnum mean it runs out of puff at the top end, although the engine is a really free revver.

Parts were a real pain, I got mine from Mitsubishi NZ with only a 2-3 day wait if it was urgent. Guys at Auckland Mistubishi were legends. Not many people mod them, which makes power up stuff hard to come by.

I love Stageas, but for similar money, I'd probably take a Legnum (although I'll reserve my judgment till next week, ok [ STAGEN ]??). Interior is really nicely done - all quality materials inside.

Ooh nice. From what I can tell though, Legnums are harder to find in manual though.

You guys are right on the parts front though - so much bolt on Skyline gear that you have.

I think simplicity is sometimes better.. The single turbo setup of the RB25 is much cheaper to modify than that of a Legnum..

Decisions decisions now... I prefer the look of Legnums, but parts are still an issue. There's a guy in Hong Kong with an Evo 8 4G63 in a Legnum - making big power too apparently!

oh dont get me wrong, beautiful cars. Ill definatly consider owning one some time down the track, but for the money, id just get a 260rs.

There has got to be another wagon out there to rival it?

Hmm, I know what ill get when i can, AMG E55 Estate version. That will be the king of the road :(

Looks nice, would i be right in saying the S2 stagea has around 206kw aswell?

Theres just no comparison between a Mitubishi and a Nissan :(

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
